Cac boot replacement

Had the lower hot side CAC boot blow out on me. I replaced it with an OEM part. Should I also replace the upper boot?

11 1/2 year old 220K truck and the only one I've replaced is the hot side at the turbo (with OEM boot). Seen 38 psi boost on them all many many times and not had a problem......yet. I wouldn't.

Ok. So no need to replace them in pairs? I thought the upper one goes bad faster or more often than the lower. Don't want to be stranded towing the fifth wheel again.

It does, so you might want to do it while you have the pipe out or at least put a spare in the truck.
